Yeah... he played it right ..... Leaving himself no bailout in bad, wet weather on sloppy field conditions and kicking towards the open end of the stadium in a high stakes situation. Thats intelligent.

Its very intelligent and it worked to perfection. The scenerio you are describing happens less than 10% of the time. Did you see the visual before the kick? Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin arm and arm. Ben loves Mike Tomlin. That means he is going nowhere. Ben hated Whisenhunt so Wiz didnt get the gig. Ben didnt get along with Cowher either and he subsequently retired. GET THE PICTURE NOW?

What does Ben have to do with this discussion? If you want to talk about how you think Ben is making head coaching personnel decisions, start a new topic. Yes, The picture is crystal clear.... Ben has the power to make HC personnel decisions (not Rooney) but he doesn't have the power to keep his buddy Bruce Arians around. <enter more sarcasm> Is this the twilight zone tonight?

He is on the Steelers. What does Suisham have to do with this discussion? Ben likes Tomlin, those are the facts
